It’s funny, I’ve never even heard of “third platform”. I’m not surprised by the numbers though. These technologies are all the rage. I suspect the reasoning behind PC and Ethernet stagnation is that many businesses already have that infrastructure in place and, perhaps, they’re not spending additional money on new technologies. But who really knows? Hey at least we can count on the analysts and product vendors to continually create new fluff terms and keep people like me on our toes.

Interesting question, I too haven't heard of the "3rd" platform. With the cost reductions in Capital Expenses offered by cloud platforms, I think it's not surprising that less and less is being spent. We know too that more and more low cost tablets are being purchased as well. As we move away from do it yourself networks to hosted online platforms run by people around the work in other countries... I can't help expect that the trend will continue.
